<br>
Functionality of `git clang-format` is provided by a python script,<br>
which should just call the clang-format binary that is available in<br>
your path. In other words it should use the same version as you see<br>
when you do<br>
<br>
$ clang-format -version<br>
<br>
However, if for some reason you want to use a different binary, you<br>
can pass it explicitly with<br>
<br>
$ git clang format --binary /path/to/clang-format<br>
<br>
For all the available options, use<br>
<br>
$ git clang-format -h<br>
<br>
or have a look at the underlying script [1].<br>
<br>
